Fans of the official Halloween Horror Nights Orlando page can send terrifying phone calls to friends to fully immerse them in this year’s event.

On the morning of Friday, August 3, 2012, Universal Studios in Orlando announced their fourth haunted house for the 2012 Halloween Horror Nights.

Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights is the nation’s best and most intense Halloween event, and this year, they are diversifying and giving fans a way to experience the horror before opening day.

Fans of the official Halloween Horror Nights Orlando page will soon be able to send terrifying phone calls to friends to fully immerse them in this year’s event.

Phone scares feature the bone-chilling haunted houses and street experiences that can only be found at Universal Orlando’s Hallowee Horror Nights, including options such as “Flesh-Eating Zombies,” “Inescapable Monsters” and “Legions of Evil.”

This year, there will be no boundaries. The rules of the past no longer apply. There is NO escape.

World-renowned magicians Penn & Teller have accidentally nuked Las Vegas, but don’t worry, it’s nothing a fresh coat of paint and a truckload of BS can’t fix! Come on down to New Vegas, where all that glitters isn’t gold, and in fact probably has fatal levels of radioactivity.

"Penn & Teller New(kd) Las Vegas 3D" will not be one for the kids as it will include such things as a little white wedding chapel, slot machines, all-you-can-eat buffets, and plenty of showgirls.

Jim Timon, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Universal Orlando Resort spoke about the newest addition to this year's Halloween Horror Nights which will be on select nights starting September 21, 2012 and running through October 31, 2012.

"We’ve done more than just tap into the wildly creative minds of Penn & Teller, the most influential illusionists in the world," said Timon. "We’ve been working really closely with them. You are literally going to hear Penn directing you through this toxic wasteland before coming face-to-face with both Penn & Teller in this jarring 3D experience."
